Chemdog 91 x Purple Punch crosses Chem 91 to Purple Punch, the plant the Chem name was built on, known equally as Chem 91 and the SKVA cut against a Larry OG and Granddaddy Purple cross that made grape candy a category. Neither is a filler parent, which is why this pairing is worth a pack rather than a look. These are held cuts, not recreations. CSI's entire catalogue works that way, and it is the reason their crosses are worth chasing.

The number in Chemdog 91 is a specific plant, not a decoration. Humboldt CSI grow a population out, keep the individuals worth keeping and number them, so Chemdog 91 is one identified selection rather than Chemdog in general. A pack naming a different number is a different mother.

Written this way, Chem 91 is the mother and Purple Punch the pollen donor. Reversing a cross is not a formality; which plant carries the seed shapes what comes out of the pack.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Chem 91. The plant the Chem name was built on, known equally as Chem 91 and the SKVA cut. Parentage: one of thirteen seeds from a bag bought at a Grateful Dead show in 1991. Skunk VA was given a cut in 1995 and has held it since, which is why the line survives.
• Father: Purple Punch. Larry OG crossed to Granddaddy Purple, and the plant that set the bar for sweet. That one comes from Larry OG x Granddaddy Purple.
• What the cross is reaching for. One side brings the structure and the other brings the nose. The plants worth keeping out of a pack are the ones that hold both rather than picking a side.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Two distinct smells, and a pack will give you both plus everything between.

• The Aroma. Heavy diesel and soil with a thin pine and citrus line at the back from the Chem 91 side, against grape candy first, then blueberry muffin and tropical punch from the Purple Punch side.
• The Taste. Greasy and mouth-coating - fuel, then earth and pine, sour at the finish up front, turning to sweet candy-grape, vanilla and tart berry, closing on a faint earthy spice through the exhale.

How the two sides differ

• Timing splits the pack. One parent wants sixty-three to seventy days, the other seven to nine weeks indoors. Expect the fast plants down well before the slow ones are ready.
• Two noses, one pack. Chem 91 contributes pungent turned earth and diesel with pine and citrus behind it. Purple Punch contributes grape candy first, then blueberry muffin and tropical punch. Which dominates is the main thing that varies.
• Structure varies hard here. Loose and open rather than compact, moderate to heavy stretch, branches that soften under weight late from one parent; short and stocky, carries its own weight; dense flower with deep purple colouring and a heavy resin load from the other. Plan the canopy for the taller outcome.
• They pull differently. Growers put Chem 91 at alert and head-forward, sativa-leaning rather than heavy and Purple Punch at even rather than racy; strongly indica-leaning and settling. Which end a plant lands on is the main variable.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Chem 91 is loose and open rather than compact, moderate to heavy stretch, branches that soften under weight late. Purple Punch is short and stocky, carries its own weight; dense flower with deep purple colouring and a heavy resin load.
• Training. Worth the effort early - it is the difference between an even canopy and three colas and a lot of leaf.
• Flowering Time. The parents are not on the same clock. Chem 91 runs sixty-three to seventy days, Purple Punch seven to nine weeks indoors. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Chem 91 as alert and head-forward, sativa-leaning rather than heavy.
• The Body. Purple Punch is reported as even rather than racy; strongly indica-leaning and settling, and that is the side supplying the weight here.

In the pack

7 feminized seeds per pack. Feminized seeds from Humboldt CSI. Humboldt CSI are preservationists before they are breeders - most of what they release is a clone somebody has kept alive by hand for years, put into seed so it stops depending on one grower staying in the game. That is what you are buying into here. Authentic Humboldt CSI genetics.
